Had a wonderful stay at the White Swan Inn, but I especially want to thank Cody for being incredibly kind and helpful on my checkout day. He let me comfortably stay in the lounge area for several hours while waiting for my flight, which made the end of my San Francisco trip so much easier and stress-free. Great hospitality, great attitude, and truly appreciated. Thank you, Cody!

The breakfast was good and what we expected from a continental breakfast. The room was GREAT! It was spacious, bed was comfortable, and the fireplace was the icing on the cake! Could not have asked for a better, central location!
No complaints about anything!

Good location slightly away from the main tourist route but close enough. Quirky style which we really liked.

Good location for the price.
Felt run down, rather than quirky. Could use some upgrades!

Pleasant
The size of the room, working fireplace, king size bed, bath products, the location, & free wine & cheese hour.
The cleanliness level wasn't great. Lots of dust, grime, and marks in the room. Felt like the whole place was a bit shabby tbh. The "breakfast" was pathetic. For one it was cheap cereal, cheap(ish) pastries, some oatmeal, lumpy yogurt, and hard boiled eggs every morning. No other continental offerings like cold meats, cheeses, fruit or anything for those with allergies. It just seemed like they were doing the cheapest and bare minimum they could & still make it passable.

Fantastic staff who will introduce you to their favourite local restaurants, an ideal breakfast balancing healthy proteins and guilty pleasures, 24/7 coffee/tea/water, a wine and cheese happy hour (I always missed it, but when it did happen, it was great), a funky interior with fireplaces for rainy days, and a great location.
